Benton End:
A Paradise of Pollen and Paint
at The Garden Museum
5 Lambeth Palace Rd, London
2 June—20 September 2026
Book your tickets on the Garden Museum's website.
Benton End: A Paradise of Pollen and Paint takes viewers into the heart of Benton End, the house, garden, and art school led by artist-plantsman Cedric Morris and his partner, artist Arthur Lett-Haines. This immersive exhibition introduces a brilliant cast of friends who gathered there: artists Lucian Freud and Joan Warburton, gardener Beth Chatto, and cookery writer Elizabeth David.
The exhibition will explore Benton End’s impact on a generation of artists, dramatising it as a living, evolving space of artistic expression. Paintings and drawings made by artists studying at Benton End, alongside photographs, correspondence, personal belongings and objects from the school will tell the story of a place where art, life and teaching came together.
